It's all true

Part 1

"It's all true.." Chloe stated once again, finding herself backing away from her partner. Her heels hit the bottom of the stairs causing her to stop, instead freezing on the spot.

"Detective?" Lucifer examined Chloe, slightly confused by how she was acting. She was looking at him in fear, a look he was well acquainted with. He usually didn't mind people's look of fear but seeing it on the Detectives face made his stomach twist.

Lucifer was yet to recognize what exactly she was afraid of but as he glanced behind him, his eyes landing on Cain's body. She couldn't possibly be giving  him that look because he killed someone who tried to kill them could she?

"I.. Detective, I had to. He would've-" Before he could finish that sentence Chloe was finally moving, shaking her head slightly.

"No Lucifer.. Your face." Chloe raised her hand slightly, pointing at his face before she moved it to her mouth as if to hide her still surprised face.

It still took Lucifer a few seconds before he could realize what she meant but when he did his hands shot up to his face, touching the rough and scarred cheeks of his Devil form. That's why the Detective was looking at him like that, like she was going to run away any second.

With this knowledge Lucifer swallowed, fear creeping up his spine as he glanced at the Detectives frightened face. Why was he so surprised? Of course she would be scared of him, he was the Devil. But maybe her earlier words had gotten him too much into  a comfort zone. "I'll make this easier for you."

Chloe watched as Lucifer turned away, heading out of there and her heartbeat quickened, was she gonna let him leave? Her partner was the Devil. It was all true. But he was still the Lucifer she knew wasn't he? Her mind came back to reality, pushing away all the thoughts as she hurried after him.

She reached him in time before he could exit the room and she grabbed his hand, her hand twitching in slight surprised as it touched his rough hands.

When Lucifer felt the slight twitch of Chloe's hand when it touched his he pulled it away. Stopping in his tracks  he searched her eyes before quickly looking away when she looked right back into his. He knew she was looking because of how they looked, glowing and haunting, flames reflecting in them.

"Lucifer.." Chloe rasped out and she reached out for his arm when the SWAT team arrived, rushing into the halls that was full of blood and feathers.

"Chloe!" Dan was quickly by her side, looking her over for any sign of injuries. "What happened?" He looked around the floor that was covered in feathers but  Chloe ignored him as her focus went back to Lucifer, only now he wasn't there. He must have left when she was distracted by Dan and the team.

"Chloe!" Dan said for the fifth time and she turned back to him. "Hm? Oh. Um... Yes, I have to go." She hurried out of there, past the elevator and down the stairs instead, leaving a confused Dan behind.

"Hey- Hey!" Ella grabbed a hold of Chloe in the stairs. "Are you okay?" She looked her over and Chloe nodded quickly. "Did you see Lucifer pass by?" She asked instead but Ella shook her head. "Why? Is he okay?" She asked but Chloe shook her head and continued down the stairs, ignoring Ella as she called after her.

Within short time Chloe was at Lucifer's penthouse, going up the elevator as she fiddled with her hands, what if he wasn't here? What if he had left for good? What if that was for the best anyway?

The doors to the elevator opened and she stepped out slowly, glancing around but couldn't bring herself to call out his name.
